I've always felt Gendo got with Yui at first to get closer to Seele (in my head I always want to fan canon Kiel into Yui's dad but that's impossible) Both of these points are reasonable theories, given these bits from the Classified Information: Gendo Ikari: C. Confidential Information Married Yui ...

Here is an excerpt from Anno's 2013 interview with Kazuo Koike (http://forum.evageeks.org/thread/15478/Hideaki-Anno-x-Kazuo-Koike-October-22-2013/): We had no time for episode 25 , so we remade it for the theatrical edition. The final episode, episode 26, was going to be that way originally. In the ...

I don't think I'd go that far. It's a beautiful book, a great visual recap of the series, and still a great resource tbh. I simply put post-it notes containing Literary Eagle's noted translation errors in my Side A/Side B, and I'll update them if any more come to light. I didn't expect this book to ...

I agree that there is no discernible way to figure out that Shinji confronting Unit 01 = Shinji dealing with someone's actual request to pilot again, or Asuka saying that she is in Unit 02 = she is at the bottom of the lake. For this side of the story Anno wanted (or had) to tell, we didn't need to ...

There are literal events happening before Instrumentality occurs in EoTV, albeit in a more internal fashion, Shinji is literally confronted with Eva Unit 01 and then internally struggles with the request to pilot once more (Misato's request in EoE, and sitting near inactive Unit 01), Asuka states th...

The quotes in question: Episode 25: Shinji: Evangelion Unit 01 ... So, do I ultimately have no choice but to pilot it? Even after killing someone I loved ? Are you saying I'm supposed to listen to my father and everyone else, and get back in this thing to fight?! Mother! Say something! Answer me! Ve...

Finished polishing up a Sources Page for an old YouTube video I did years ago, and in it, I attempted to piece together what exactly happened during Second Impact with all sources available, including Classified Information. Any feedback is welcome ^_^ [14] "Adam, the First Angel — and the caus...

Very interesting, possibly groundbreaking tidbit I found today regarding the translation of EoTV Episode 26: https://youtu.be/dyL3cGV6JDY (Relevant bit starts at 2:08) This seems to be solid proof that EoTV's ending is one and the same as End of Evangelion, Shinji accepts the real world, and rejects...

It blew my mind when you revealed how many you have in your collection, didn't even know that many existed. Wish the US would publish more Eva books over here. The Evangelion Chronicle are a good start, but hopefully Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 will spark an even bigger interest in bringing more stateside.

Wouldnt mind just the simple forum software change if someone would want to help me out. I've never been mentioned specifically (maybe 1 or 2 quote replies), and my proposed name is similar enough that I think people could put two and two together on the few posts I'm mentioned. I gu...

I searched through the forum, but couldn't find information about this one. Is it possible to do so? Been a longtime poster, and would like to be able to change it. My username was taken from my first email from middle school, hence the "kirby"... was a big fan at the time, lol) I&...

I have the same story as OP. I received an email from them yesterday (10/13/2015) updating me on the situation: Hello from the Right Stuf Anime team! We're contacting you because you pre-ordered FUNimations's upcoming release of Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.33 from us. As you know, the ...

Episode 24 : Gendo: Soon, the final Angel will appear. If we destroy it, our wish will come true. Just a little longer, Yui. Was the "personal ark" plan that Gendo had, also Yui's original plan before her CE (minus allowing Gendo to remain with her in Unit 01)? She ended up ha...
